FOOTNOTE:
My thanks to Anna Hodge at Auckland University Press for bringing this to my attention. It hadn't crossed my radar but here is what she had to say about it:
It’s a US book competition where 16 of the biggest literary novels of the year get matched up in (completely arbitrary, and frivolous, but hilarious) head-to-head reviews, the winners advancing to the next round until they reach the finals. It’s immensely entertaining, but it’s also quite a useful guide to what the literary big-hitters are in the States. Previous winners include I think The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, The Road and Cloud Atlas.
Anyway, if you don’t already know about it, hope you enjoy! I followed it last year agog after stumbling across it via The Elegant Variation, so I’m looking forward to this year’s Tournament.
